<\/p>\n

You will be considering not just what is being said, but <\/span>how<\/span> it is being said\u2014that is to say, you will consider the form and the way the language is being used.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Your final draft should include an introduction that includes a main claim (thesis); body paragraphs with claims, quotes, and analysis (\u201cclose reading\u201d) of the quotes; and a conclusion. You should make use of the OED at least once.<\/span><\/p>\n

PLEASE USE FOLLOWING POEMS!<\/p>\n

Sonnet 130 (1609)<\/span><\/p>\n

William Shakespeare<\/span><\/p>\n

My mistress\u2019 eyes are nothing like the sun;<\/span><\/p>\n

Coral is far more red than her lips\u2019 red;<\/span><\/p>\n

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun<\/span><\/p>\n

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have seen roses damasked, red and white,<\/span><\/p>\n

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;<\/span><\/p>\n

And in some perfumes is there more delight<\/span><\/p>\n

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know<\/span><\/p>\n

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;<\/span><\/p>\n

I grant I never saw a goddess go;<\/span><\/p>\n

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare <\/span><\/p>\n

As any she belied with false compare.<\/span><\/p>\n



<\/b><\/p>\n

(Untitled \u2013 from the longer poem, <\/span>Hekatompathia<\/span>) (1581)<\/span><\/p>\n

 Thomas Watson <\/span><\/p>\n

Hark you that list to hear what saint I serve:<\/span><\/p>\n

Her yellow locks exceed the beaten gold;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her sparkling eyes in heav\u2019n a place deserve;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her forehead high and fair of comely mold;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her words are music all of silver sound;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her wit so sharp as like can scarce be found;<\/span><\/p>\n

Each eyebrow hangs like Iris in the skies;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her Eagle\u2019s nose is straight of stately frame;            <\/span>\t<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On either cheek a Rose and Lily lies;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her breath is sweet perfume, or holy flame;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her lips more red than any Coral stone;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her neck more white than aged Swans that moan;   <\/span><\/p>\n

Her breast transparent is, like Crystal rock;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her fingers long, fit for Apollo\u2019s Lute;<\/span><\/p>\n

Her slipper such as Momus dare not mock;               <\/span><\/p>\n

Her virtues all so great as make me mute:<\/span><\/p>\n

What other parts she hath I need not say,<\/span><\/p>\n

Whose face alone is cause of my decay.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
